Will Espanyol lose intentionally to Real?

[Barcaman]

Having seen the other thread prompted me to start this one. And knowing Espanyol connection with scums from the capital and their hate towards Barca...

 

[xavi_the_Boss]

Of course they will.They have nothing to play for.

 

[serghei]

No. They won't. But Real will win anyway.

 

[Ini8]

Oops, voted no instead of yes. They definitely will.

 

[Barcalove]

They arent trowing it away but also are not going to give their best, so yes

 

[Leo_Messi]

That should not even be a question. They might fight a bit if they still have a theoretical chance of finishing 7th. Chances of that are slim.

Irrelevant as RM won't lose any points in the league this season.

 

[MaxY]

Nah,they have a shot at the 7th and we're going to beat them anyways so I don't care.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Even if they don't want to lose intentionally, they will lose because they are shit.

 

[King5Puyi]

Irrelevant in my opinion. Madrid is going to keep the pressure on us throughout.

 

[te amo barca]

They will lose anyway.

 

[Alik]

Even if they don't want to lose intentionally, they will lose because they are shit.

Well put

 

[Icarium]

They don't need to lose intentionally, they are ASSpanyol for fucks sake. They will get a royal thrashing.

 

[Alarcón]

They are thugs, of course they will. What Catalan club names itself Espanyol? lol

Catalans are a minority within Catalonia contrary to popular belief among foreigners. Most locals originate from other parts of Spain or are a mixture of Spaniards (read people from other parts of Spain) and local Catalans. So nothing strange about that.

It's very common to have a Spanish (read surname originating from other areas of Spain other than Catalonia) surname and a local Catalan surname. In Spain the surnames of both of your parents are traditionally used. For instance Hernández y/i Creus.

Players such as Xavi, Valdés, Montoya, Roberto etc. are actually originally (or their fathers at least) from other parts of Spain. Evident by their surnames.

Catalonia welcomed a very large number of migrants from other pats of Spain (mainly Andalucía) at the turn of the 20th century but also long before that period. Many of their descendants nowadays regard themselves as Catalan though.

Add to that migration outside of Spain entirely which has also been numerous in recent years.

Spain is a really mixed country in this regard and is what makes the country so rich. All Iberians though although some are really hellbent at creating overblown differences when the reality is that there are not that many at the end of the day.

So the followers/fans of Espanyol in Barcelona are Castilian Spanish as opposed to Catalans for Barça?
